Do I have to buy the Flashlink mobile to use this remote start?

Question

I’m not sure if I need to buy the Flashlink mobile thing in order to install the remote start. I was not made aware that I needed anything else besides what came in the box. I also am having issues downloading the Flashlink mobile app on both of my computers.

Hello

Answer 2

There are two different devices available to techs in order for them to be able to flash modules and set them up for whichever car they are working on. If you are an end consumer working on your own vehicle, you will need the tools to get the job done. These required products are listed on every vehicle compatibility page. 

• Flash Link Mobile is a mobile tool for techs primarily and runs on a phone app. 
• The Flash Link Updater which uses the Flash Link Manager windows software. 

The Flash Link Manager software is available here and requires the Flash Link Updater (not the flash link mobile)..

Depending on where you purchased the unit from and what vehicle you have, you may or may not need the flash link.
